The National Heritage List for England records Bevis's Thumb long barrow, 370m west of Fernbeds Farm as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Neolithic long barrow; dates to the early to middle Neolithic period (circa 3700–3000 BCE). It is significant as a rare surviving example of a chambered tomb used for communal burial and ritual practices in prehistoric Britain.
